| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. He's funny in his presentation, yes, and maybe a little arrogant too, but a LOT of what he says is absolutely true, IMO. It seems that the most offended/outraged on here are the ones who have lots and lots of previous posts - you know who you are.... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? @herman "It's always amusing when someone posts a completely outrageous scenario and the audiophools pile on thinking it was serious. Bravo !!! You got these phools to believe you spent almost $700 on an ethernet switch, thousands on power supp... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? Moderator - - Why can't our answers/comments to a specific post, be posted after THAT post, rather than it being lost at the end of the post list?? Ya know, like every other forum on the planet does it!? | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? Could you repost that answer, but this time in English please! | |
| Turn off or leave on? DACs/SS Pre/non Class A power amps/Streamers/Phono Stages can take many many hours to 'warm up', or rather, sound their best. My previous Jeff Rowland pre was said, by Jeff, to take several DAYS after switch on to sound its best. So, leave those p... | |
| 12v linear power supply The battery idea sounds like (almost) a perfect solution. Small devices, like an ethernet switch eg, could be run off a 12v motocycle battery, which would last for weeks. One issue may be that a 12v car/motorcycle battery is 13.8v when fully charg... | |
| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? There's been a lot of discussion in this thread, but little in a way of answering why people spend so so much on the equipment mentioned, when a cheap USB stick plugged into your device gives as good, or better SQ. Forget your NAS (for music), fo... | |
| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? @cindyment - It's not jitter on the output of the DAC I'm wondering about, it's on the input, along with electrical noise, which is/may be created by the ethernet links - switch/cables/PS. USB 'isolators', not inexpensive IMO, as they vary, in ri... | |
| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? @akg_ca - I agree this can force one 'down the rabbit hole', but that is the reason for my original post, to get people to go down it, and explain their reasoning. Also, your idea that there's no 'noise' before the DAC, is wrong. We're not talking... | |
| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? @erik_squires - I'm not looking to 'invest' in anything. I'm simply putting the question out there, as there seems very little discussions going on around my question. @fuzztone - I'm not frugal, quite the reverse, but I'm also not dumb. I don't ... | |
| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? Thanks, I agree - why spend a small fortune on expensive hardware that's not actually needed to get great sound. I understand my 'all in one' solution could be bettered, but again, at a massive increase in price. The 6Moons 'thing' is another pro... | |

| Speakers for triode tube amps Russ69,, said - - " Unless you play loud a 25 watt tube amp will get the job done with just about any loudspeaker. "What an absolute load of RUBBISH! You are so SO far off the mark here that I'm amazed that you haven't been flamed over that dumb... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Outdated terminals? I've had 3 pairs of Maggies and banana plugs have always fitted with no problems whatsoever. My current 1.7i's and my previous .7i were fine too. The 1.7i's are a step change in performance over the .7i's IMO - a huge leap in p... |
